EASY TO INSTALL AND DETACH The Lad-Saf X2 is designed for one-handed attachment or detachment anywhere along the cable for versatility. It incorporates and anti inversion mechanism to prevent it be attached to the cable in the incorrect orientation. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY LOCKING SYSTEMS In the event of a fall, the traveller immediately locks into place and remains locked until the user can regain his footing. Even if something interferes with the primary locking system, a secondary locking system will engage to lock the traveller onto the cable. INTEGRATED ENERGY ABSORBER/FALL INDICATOR The integrated energy absorber limits the maximum fall arrest force to 6 kn or less, which meets or exceeds applicable standards. This absorber also acts as a fall indicator, showing the device has been deployed and needs to be taken out of service. 4
